mouse sketch - where it all began with @miceoflegend.bsky.social
The world of those modules used mouse sized swords and not artifacts like this needle-sword, but I still like the ideas of a mouse kitted out with thread spool + fishing hook in place of rope + hook.

storybook dragon - watercolour practice.
I wanted a white birch forest - but trees, orange leaves, sky accidentally evokes a calvin & hobbes panel to me for some reason... I guess I absorbed that look for an "adventure in the woods" straight from Calvin's imaginary play.

If you're in Toronto between now and Feb, go check out the fantasy and scifi map display at the Merril Collection (3rd Floor of the Lillian H Smith branch on College)
I love these old maps and they have a couple by Phillipe Druillet, one of my fav artists.

pigfolk mushroom farmer.
I have a mental image of a pig faced orc society focused around iron mines and mushroom farms. Chaos magic enhances both the shaping of metal and the spread of fungus...
They'd slowly take on a fungal element as they are infected by their labour.

I need to figure out a way to do an ink version of this that doesn't lose the lurking stillness of the pencil shading...

When I draw my characters I do try to adopt the game's vibe... Making a difference between my DCC wizard and my ShadowDark priest... I didn't bother drawing Archimedes' items because they aren't tracked closely in DCC... But i drew all Oscars stuff SD being strict about slots

Done playing around with this. Added some black ink detailing and used a little white acrylic paint to add some more snow flakes

So far so good... The orange ink under the blue gave the background some interesting depth

lineart for a mermaid for my niece. I wanted a fish-ier look -- without the shell bra or strategically floating hair bits.

I'm just doodling mice and I came up with a razor blade battle-axe idea.
For those playing in a tiny world of scaled up human artifacts...do you have go-to version of the weapons figured out? I know sowing needle rapiers, but what else?
darning needle lances?
